Description

In 1899, troublesome teenager Pearl Hart (age 17) left her hometown in Ontario for the Wild West. While in Tucson, Pearl fell in love with a mustachioed shyster named Joe Boot, and together they formed a successful mugging duo. After finding out that her mother had a serious illness and needed money, Pearl set her sights on bigger game and became the first stagecoach robber in Arizona. After getting caught napping by the Sheriff, Pearl was sentenced to 5 years of hard time in an all men's penitentiary - making her not only the first woman to go to prison in Arizona, but the first to get pregnant in prison! She was released afterwards due to the fact that her two cell mates were the former Governor and a Minister. Using soft dusty leathers with an ankle buckled strap on a 2.5" Fellowship-hi heel and tunite Bellevue sole, this Mary Jane is sure to get you in and out of trouble. Keep pushing west and beyond your imagination.

Perfection!

Jill - Edmonton

I needed a good, pretty, not-too-tall shoe for a wedding i'm in. These looked perfect, low heel, straps to keep my foot from sliding around. And guess what? they are perfect! after reading the reviews i went up half a size from my non-vog foot size, i'm a 9.5 so i went up to a 10. A 10 is fabulous! i think had i went for the 9.5 they would have fit, but i would have needed to stretch them out a little bit with wear( i have very wide feet). After wearing these for two days, all day, walking, sitting, standing around, i can say that these are SUPER comfortable for all day wear, and that i am very happy with my choice! Thanks Montreal Fluevog for the quick shipping too, since my closest store is Calgary and I just wasn't going to get there in time!

Roaring 20's

MB - Ottawa, ON

I have several pairs of Vogs, and I love these no less. I ordered the cream and black in a size 9 (my usual Vog size) and they were way too big. Had to return for an 8.5 (my regular non-Vog shoe size) I still find them a little long, but the toe box is narrow, so I'm keeping these ones. Keep bringing more 1920's styles Fluevog! I love the mid-sized heel so I can wear them all day pain-free!

Dainty

Tawna - Calgary

Love these shoes, so dainty and lady-like. I bought these to be a basic black dress shoe with a easy to wear heel height, and these deliver with style! I normally wear a 9.5-10 in fluevog and I bought these in a 9, the length is fine but I think I would have done better a half size up as the toe box is a little snug and creates a blister on my right pinky toe after a few hours of walking around. These were one of the first pairs of Fluevogs I had ever purchased and I bought them online long before the Calgary store opened so I guessed on the size. If I had known then what I know now about Fluevog sizing I could have easily exchanged for another size as Fluevog has an excellent exchange policy, they are super easy to work with, but alas, I did not so I settled for stretching the toe box as best I could and carrying band aides with me if I require a buffer.

Fortuitous Find!

Adin - Kamloops

I was browsing in a shoe store in Nelson, BC...and then saw a pair of these in the clearance section. In my size (11), which NEVER happens! They're a slightly blueish-grey, with apple green strap details that Fluevog no longer carries, and they're perfect. I'm now going to have to make a 1920s style day dress to do these shoes justice, and in the mean time, I'll be wearing them at home with my bathrobe, cooing at their perfection.

Kittens, Unicorns and Rainbows!

Crystal - United States

Love these shoes! I take a 10 in non-Vogs and ordered in a 10.5--perfect fit. Great heel, lots of toe room. Love the DC store--nice notes and candy with every order. Smile.

Vintage queen in rose and cream

Meghan - Toronto

These are dreamy and I feel like I float when I walk. I bought an 11 1/2 and they fit like a glove. I'm usually an 11 in regular shoes and 11 1/2 or 12 in Fleuvogs. Heels from Fleuvogs never feel like any other heels. Sigh. The. Best. Oh, and can I just say a big thanks for the shoe-love notes and tea in my shoe box. Y'all are the best.

Beautiful

Sunita - Cleveland

I got these shoes last week in the yellow and pink. As another reviewer noted, the colors are much darker, but I still think they are beautiful. As with all of my Fluevogs, these were comfortable, and wearing them all day was a piece of cake. They fit true to size on me. I usually wear a 6.5, and the 6.5 was perfect.

Lucy

I just adore these shoes! Very comfortable and just the right height. I would love to see them in a mint/cream combination. <3

Lovely

kathy - NH

I bought the pink/yellow colorway and found that the actual colors are slightly darker/richer than they appear to my eye on the website. It makes me like them even more. I went up 1/2 size for the perfect fit. I LOVE the NYC store and always have the best time when I go there. My nine year old son even loves it. The sales people are incredibly helpful and always lots of fun. I tend to bond with other shoppers too. It's just a magical place like no other shoe store on the planet.

Perfect Heels

Kara - Halifax, NS

I love these shoes so much I own them in three colours and I'm always tempted to buy more. They are the perfect height if you have to do a little walking through your day and still look super awesome. The vintage look appeals to my personal aesthetic. They fit true to size in my experience, although I did by the open-toe pair (no longer available) a half size up.

J Austin

Got the Pearl Harts in yellow and pink. They are cute as hell. The yellow shades toward a peachy orange, and goes beautifully with the dress I bought them for. I usually get a 7 in Fluevogs, and these work for me in a 7.

Edible colourz

Christine - Kitchener, ON

I fell in love with the pearl harts in dusty rose and cream immediately and knew they would have to be my first fluevogs. That colour combo is I irresistible! I found the dusty rose colour much darker and richer than the website shows; it's truly a deep dusty rose not light pink. The shoes are gorgeous. I found they fit narrow across the ball of my foot and went up a size from my full reg. shoe size in it. I still can't get over them. They're like candy.

Perfect as always

Sharon - Sacramento

Had to have these in the pink/cream! So pretty. Normally wear 8.5, but got these in a 9. Thanks to the staff at the Grant St. store. A little hard to get your feet in at first, but patience is a virtue! These are so worth it.
:-)

Rose/Cream Patent

Winki - Idaho

The rose shade is a little lighter on my screen than it is in person. I was a bit surprised but not disappointed. This is my first patent pair in Fluevogs and they might take a bit of getting used to. Fairly certain I will only wear them on dressy occasions. I love my dusty lavender and cream in this style; such a cute little turned up rounded toe adds spunk and wiggle room! :-D

YESSSS!

Leila Henley - United States

I got these in olive in a size 12, which is my regular shoe size but is sometimes a little snug for me in Fluevogs. These shoes are definitely a real 12! Long enough though quite a bit narrow for me. I had them stretched by a shoe repair guy and now they're dreamy! :-B

Highly recommended for the long of foot. The olive color is awesome!

Comfy dancing shoes!

Lori Gadzala - Ottawa, Canada

Tried these on at the Toronto store, hemmed and hawed and finally went up a half size to 10 from my normal 9.5. I have the black and ivory and they are very versatile. I bought these because my husband and I started ballroom dancing lessons, and the cross-strap and sensible-yet-dainty heel is perfect for gliding across the floor. But I also wear them for business meetings with pants, out for dinner in skirts, even to my sister's wedding in a black and white dress! Second pair of Fluevogs and a great choice for business folks who have to walk a lot - or for dancers!

Mmmm.

Shawn Bird - Canada

Pearl loves being at my house, and I love Pearl! Mine are burgundy footbed with black trim/straps. These shoes get compliments whenever I walk out of the house. They're dressy, funky, and comfortable. Very comfortable. I consistently wear a 6.5 in my vogs and these are perfect. I do have to use a shoe horn to get them on, because one cross is fixed, with elastic. It was a bit of a knack to get them on the first time. It was really tight at first, but it's loosening up nicely, so it's easier each time. Once on, they are a dream to wear from the first!

Love these but...

Karen - Ottawa

Bought these for a 1940s costume party but won't likely wear them again.

SMELLS OF LOVE

Josephine - Australia

Never have a pair of shoes smelt as wonderful as my new Fluvogs which arrived safely in Australia yesterday. I am the proud owner of the sassy and wonderful Pearl Harts . They fit true to size and look just as adorable as the image. What you don't get from your website is the divine smell of these lovely shoes. They smell of a product that is manufactured with real care, love and a touch of magic in there. This is my first pair of shoes from your company but I'll be returning. The service was exceptional from start to finish and you really live up to all the buzz and hype surrounding you. I appreciated the extra gifts that came with the shoes (the note said there was a hold up on the order but I hadn't noticed). And special thanks to Jessamy from Boston for all their help with my emails. :-D

Comfy, supportive, AND cute!

Elle Marie - Boston, MA

I love these heels to pieces. I had reconstructive surgery on one of my ankles over a year ago, and my doctor told me once I was cleared to wear cute shoes again, that if I was going to wear heels, they need to be supportive and well-made... And these sure are! I can wear these all day in comfort and never feel the slightest bit of instability in my ankle. They are also lovely in person (I have the black/cream colored ones).

I do feel that they run slightly small, and ordered a size larger than I would normally wear. The sole also can be a bit slippery, particularly in damp weather. However, these heels are amazingly comfortable and make my feet very, very happy.

Love these shoes SO MUCH

Lynne - Boston

I got these shoes at the Boston store, even though I am not in the habit of wearing heels. These things are incredibly comfortable! I can walk in them all day, though I did require the addition of ball-of-foot cushions while my feet got used to not being in flats. I got the black and burgundy, and they're dressy enough to pair with skirts, but I can wear them with jeans as well. So awesome!

My first Vogs...

Melissa - Oklahoma

And I am in love! I have seen many reviews that say "order up a size", but I bought my normal 9.5 size and they fit great. Even a little room to spare since I can wear these barefoot or with handknit socks! I was hesitant on color too since the black and beige almost look white, but they are not. The beige is more of a tan leaning beige than a white leaning color. WOOT! :-D

Love!

Terra - Indiana

Second in comfort only to my derby swirls, these are my favorite Vogs! All of my 'ladies' shoes I have purchsed from Fluevog fit a smidge too small, or too narrow, resulting in short wear-time and a search for thinner socks. But these- Ahhh! I want a pair in every color. I would wear my Pearl Harts all day, anywhere. My only request? Please, pretty please, bring them back in Olive Green. Size 6. Thank you!

Brigitte - Germany

I ordered these in my usual size (European 39 = 8.5)and they do fit alright, though a larger size would have been okay as well I guess. Haven't worn them outside the house yet, so I can't report on any compliments by strangers yet, but I love them. Great colours (coral & brown), and the soles are so comfortably cushioned! I'm very pleased with these shoes, they look fabulous. However, I'd like to remark that the heels and soles inside the shoes were slightly stained, as if they'd been tried on a few times too often (but that's alright as I bought them on sale), and the bolt (spike?) of one buckle came off when I tried them on (maybe I've been too hard on them), never to be found again, but I managed to replace it with the bolt of a buckle from an old shoe I don't wear any more. Cheers to the Seattle staff!

Give these a chance

Chelsea - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Bought the pink/coral version in a size 10. In non-vog shoes, I range from 9-10. I had read that the Pearl's run small, so I sized up a full size. At first, I thought this was a mistake. But I took the plunge and wore these babies out of the house. Now I know I made the right decision in sizing up.

Wear: They look good with everything, even as brightly colored as they are. What more can I say?!

Fit: Seemed too big at first, and the toe shape seemed strange to my eyes. However, after wearing these shoes all day at work (and doing a fair bit of walking in the process), I realize that they soften and conform to your foot shape quickly. There are one or two spots of slightly uncomfortable rubbing, but I'm also not wearing socks or stockings with them. The sole under the toe, though, is quite slick at first and makes walking on carpet (or grass!) difficult/funny. The heel is cushioned and the soft rubber makes walking a joy. The crossed straps across the instep make for a great, stable fit. The arch support is lower than I usually need, and the toe bed is a little...hard? I'm just going to use some thin cushioned inserts for both issues.

Other stuff: The only think that I don't like about these shoes is that the lovely sole design is immediately scraped off after just one short walk through a parking lot. But, really, that's my only real complaint.

Definitely size up, though, if you have wide or larger feet.

Thanks Rebecca in Chicago!

Wendy Nemitz - St. Paul

Thanks to the marvelous Rebecca in Chicago (and my husband who was willing to start at 4 am to get me an hour at the Fluevog store) I love these. They are true to size (I wear a 10 in most shoes and bought these in a 10). Just cooler than other office shoes!

Yet another pair of pretty, pretty shoes

Colleen Kennedy - Kamloops, BC

Alas....nothing like the colour combination of this particular version. The 10.5 in this style (I range from a 10-11) fit like a glove. They are truly the most comfortable shoes. Every time I wear them people stop to comment on them. Love them, love them, love them.

Thanks again for brilliant shoes that last to actually be worn!

Happy, Happy Fluevog customer (bought my first pair in the early 90's) and still going strong!

LOVE 'EM

SHOE_A_HOLIC

These coral/brown babies arrived yesterday and I am thrilled by the fit and look of them! This is my fourth pair of Fluevogs, and second pair from the Bellvue family so the sizing was accurate. In person they are more pinkish than coral, but yet still very lovely. Can't wait to strut my stuff!

So awesome, I am posting a second review

Vog Addict - Vancouver

These shoes, as the title states, are so awesome, that after posting a comment about them saying how much I love them once, I HAD to come back after wearing them a few more times to say that THEY ARE THE BEST SHOES EVER!!!!!!! PERIOD! @>-

I wish I could own ALL the Vogs!

Cara - Wellington, New Zealand

But alas, so far I only have two pairs. I just got my second pair, the lovely Pearl Harts in black and beige. I am in love! I ordered them online thanks to the very helpful Monika in the Haight St SF store, and they arrived in New Zealand yesterday (two weeks later). Although I was a little worried at first because there was a bit of a struggle getting my feet into them, they soon fit like a glove and made my feet feel like they were being hugged. They are super comfortable, so gorgeous and a perfect pair of Vogs. The Pearl Harts put me one pair closer to owning ALL of the Vogs, and I cannot wait until I can get pair #3!

Great shoes and great service

Kate - UK

I'm wearing my new pair of Pearl Harts -- the second pair of this style I've bought, and the 5th pair of Fluevogs I own. They're immediately comfortable, and interesting without being too over-the-top. They're what I want in a shoe: practical but a bit different. I can run in these, and walk all day. The only thing I find is that I need to go up at least one size, and the match against standard European sizes is a bit hit & miss.

As there is no Fluevog shop in the UK (oh please open one), I do mail order, and the care & service is absolutely SUPERB!!! Big thanks to staff in the Vancouver & New York shop for getting me my latest pair.

Grey and Blue Heart Harts are AWESOME

Happy Feet - Vancouver

This is my 4th pair of vogs... Each pair is so unique and the quality is so great!
The pearl harts are really well made. There are so many small details to this shoe! I bought the grey and blue ones.
The picture here doesn't really do them justice - they really are more of a darker grey and the blue is a rather dark blue - they go with everything! (I was debating between coral and brown & the grey ones and once I saw the coral ones in store I realized that they are a little too pink for my liking. The heel really is pink on those ones. Cute, but not as versatile because they are more for the summer season only and the grey ones can be worn all year long!)
Also, I have very narrow feet and these shoes work for me with a small insole. Very comfortable!

totes adorbs

Kate - Regina, SK, Canadialand

The Bellevues line is so sweet and old-timey-looking, yet so fresh. Also, I can and have worn Bellevues while doing walking tours of major cities -- as in, walking on pavement for 6+ hours straight, with no problems!! The Pearl Harts, which I have in blue/grey, are beautiful and practical, and I love them. It takes me a while to break them in -- I have an insanely high arch, and the straps are tight for the first few wears. Overall, they're gorgeous and I adore them.

Anna - Moscow, Russia

I found these Olive ones by accident, while googling in search of Perfect Wedding Shoes. So I looked once again - and I saw it was it!

The wonderful Fluevogologists helped my to buy these shoes and quickly sent them right here, to Russia.

I normally wear size 8.5, but there was only 8 on site. The shoes went a bit tight, so I had to wear these at home for hours! I was afraid it would be unconvenient at the ceremony, but hopefully I made it. I wore these all day long, from 8 am to 10 pm, and had no trouble or discomfort!

So thank you once again for your wonderful work and care. I hope to have more Fluevogs some day (not for a wedding, of course:))).

you can take over the world...

Tran - Boston/NYC

I saw these pairs walking around midtown (NYC). I chased after the woman who was wearing them, asked her to take it off her feet and took the liberty to photograph it. I guess all Fluevogites are awesome because she happily helped me find the right angle to photograph it. We both couldn't figure out the name of the shoe maker (please forgive me as that was my first time out to the real world) so she suggested that I go home and google all the possibilities. I did. I spent a long time on it and finally met the man of my dream: John Fluevog. Went to to the Newbury Street store in Boston and bought these pairs in black/cream. I love them. I'm normally a 6.5, but the 7 fits my wide feet awesomely. I could have the worst morning ever, but when I put these pairs on, I feel like I can take over the world for the rest of the day. Gonna buy me a another pair when I get more $$$.

Matches everything!

Kristine - Pittsburgh, PA

These shoes are awesome! The 9 fits my 8.5 wide feet perfectly. They took one time to "wear in" and now they are comfortable like no other. I got the Black and cream, and I wore them with a clingy dress, a flowy skirt, jeans. All wonderful. You will not regret buying them.

Happiness is...

Lisa N - Sydney, Australia

...my beautiful new Fluevogs which arrived today, just in time for a night out at the theatre. Soooo comfortable and supportive of my broad, silly temperamental feet!

Thank you to Denny and the San Fran store for getting them to me safely in Sydney.

Joy! ,-)

Sandra - Victoria

I have two pairs of these beauties! They are the most comfortable heels I have ever owned. You seriously can wear them all day. I have a heck of a time finding shoes for my size 11 clown feet, but these fit perfectly without squishing my toes. Thanks Fluevog! I can't wait to see the new colours!! Keep em coming!

You really can go running in these!

Elisabeth - Vancouver

My honey and I visited Fluevog yesterday and we both left the store wearing new shoes. Mine were the Pearl Harts in black and ivory. I have only had them for a day, so it's probably a bit early to write a review, but I've got to say this: they are so fabulously comfortable and stable that you can RUN in them! I know this because we went for lunch afterward, and when we got back to the car I realized I'd left my handbag in the restroom. I ran -- no, sprinted! -- three blocks up Granville street in my brand spanking new shoes with no trouble at all. There's some good engineering that goes into these shoes, I tell ya. (Also, I did get my handbag back, so double yay). Plus they are, of course, lovely to behold.

Thanks to Justin the sales associate for patiently helping me try on half the shoes in the store, and to JF for offering these beautiful shoes in a size 5 1/2. I have ogled the Pearl Harts in all the various colours for two years now, but the smallest size used to be 6, which was too big for me. I'm delighted that they now come in smaller sizes!

Love my first vogs!

Kerrie - Oregon

:-D

Thank you San Fran stores x2, Chicago and NY for finding me the perfect fit for my first pair of Fluevogs. I love them. Yes, super comfy.

best shoes ever

Johanna - vancouver

I had been looking at shoes on the website for several months and coveting the pair that my co-worker has. Then, one day, they had the shoes that I wanted, in the color I preferred and they were on sale!!! These are my first pair of Fluvogs and will not be my last. They fit from the moment I put them on and I finally get to wear them today as there is no rain for a change :-)

First Love

Carmen Totino - Kamloops

I have been shopping around online for my first pair of Fluevogs for a while now. I had noticed these shoes in the wine & black but was heart broken to see that the size 11's were not being sold online in those colors. Well today the shoe god smiled upon me and I came upon a wine and black pair at a Fluevog reseller in town and I breathlessly snatched them up!

Funny thing; I had ordered a pair of the Inez Sexton's online just earlier this week. But Fluevogs are like pie; there is always room for more <3

Simply Wonderful!!

Amy - Tucson

I wore these black beauties for graduation and after the festivities, landed a first kiss! I have not held up any stagecoaches but these pumps definitely assisted in reaching new heights! They are very comfortable, fit like a dream, and fun to wear! The vogologists in S.F. were very helpful!! I will take one in every color!!
:-)

Greg

Congratulations on both accounts! :)

Perfect shoes

Stacey - Nanaimo

I found these at the Gastown store in the pistachio green as I was on the hunt for wedding shoes......(which complemented my wedding dress perfectly :-D)I can't wear heels well, and these babies were an absolute dream to wear while getting married, touring a castle, walking along oceanfront, sitting for dinner.....Thanks John for helping to make my wedding shoes perfect! oh and got oodles of compliments too:)

Greg

Congratulations! Thanks for sharing such an important day with us :)

Jenny

These fit me more snugly (in the same size) than my Mini Zazas, so if I were planning on wearing them with socks or thicker tights, I might go half a size up. However, I'm wearing them with nylons, and they fit like a glove! Given how much they make me stare at my feet, I am probably going to walk into a lamppost. (It'll be worth it.)

Deborah - Toronto

These shoes are so darn comfortable and cute. They have been given the assignment of "fancy walking shoes" in my shoe collection. There was a time when I hesitated to wear them too often, but after seeing a friend of mine wearing her's while riding her bike I thought, "why the hell not!" My Pearl Hearts are high in rotation.

Beauty loves misery?

Ann - Palos Verdes Estates, CA

*-O Loving my orange Malibrans, my husband offered to take me to Fluevogs on Melrose on our 26th Anniversary. One pair we bought were these in lilac. I loved the color, the look is beautiful. But SOOOOOOOOOO uncomfortable. Have never improved. I even had rubber sole added to front (like a Malibran) to rock my weight back onto the heel. Still miserable. Beautiful... but worthy of the "wear these and I'll commit murder by noon" award/

Love My Pearls

Mary Mann - Indian Rocks Beach, FL

These are my second pair of Fluevogs! So cute, so much fun! So great with the lbd and black tights. I love the fit as I have a narrow foot. These fit like a glove and are super comfy. Thanks for a great addition to the shoe collection.

My First Fluevogs

Margaret - Nova Scotia, Canada

I bought these in olive this summer at the store in Boston and proceeded to wear them almost every day after. They are magically comfortable. I've never owned a pair of shoes that didn't require some breaking in. These didn't pinch, hurt or rub anywhere. My husband bought a pair of Radio CBCs the same day, and had the same experience. These were my first Fluevogs, but won't be my last.

Shawna - Victoria

I just bought a beautiful pair of these in the black and ivory combo. They are exactly what I needed to finish off my holiday party outfit. I did need to go down half a size in them though. I am usually an 8, but needed a 7.5 in these. They fit a little tight in the strap at first, but it was already giving by the time I took them off. I love how these shoes look like Fluevogs, but have a more feminine look than some of my other heels from Fluevog. The retro 20's style of the shoe also looks fantastic with skinny jeans. They are probably one of the most versatile pairs of Fluevogs I now own.

Regan - Canada

These were my second pair of fluevogs and they have easily become my favourite and most comfortable shoes! I have worn them all day, every day since I bought them!

In love

Liz - Omaha, NE

I went into the store looking for an all black shoe to go with my professional mostly black attire. I ended up with the magenta color, completely out of my normal range of blacks and greys and I love them. They make my black outfits pop! I stand all day and they are very comortable. Great shoe!

Love at First Sight!

Erin - South Carolina

I recently bought the purple & brown pair from the LA store. I went in to the store interested in trying on a completely different style, but the Pearl Hart caught my eye, and it was love at first sight. I tried on several different shoes, but none could compare. I've since worn them several times, and on each occasion strangers stop me on the street to admire them and ask where I bought them. They are comfortable (though I did have to wear a bandaid on one spot the first couple of times to prevent a blister--all better now), and though they don't have the rubber sole of my beloved Malibrans, they are stable and fine for walking.

The Pearl Hart runs true to size, and it is a beautiful shoe. I love the purple, but the great thing about this design is that there are so many different color combinations available--truly a Vog for everyone!

Stable / Comfy Heels!!

Colleen - Edmonton

These were my 4th pair of vogs. I almost passed on them because they were too 'normal' looking but I'm glad I didn't. I got the wine/black color and I get compliments every time I wear them. They are very very comfortable and 'stable' for a smaller heel than my other Fluevogs but I truly feel as though I could run in them and not be worried about falling on my face!

Brianna

These just arrived, in black, today. They are my first pair of Fluvogs, and I'm very impressed. They came neatly packaged, with I nice note from the Chicago store that shipped them for me. Thanks to Bekkie and others who helped with getting my new Fluvogs to me safely and on time. They're very comfy :-) I usually have a hard time finding shoes that fit well, which I had always blamed on my feet, but maybe it really was the shoes. Love the shoes and am very happy with the service. Thanks JF!!!

Just sideways from perfect

Elisabeth - Seattle

I love the look of the entire Bellevues line, and really wrestled with which ones I would get. I finally decided to get the lilac version of these, as purple is my favorite non-black color and I needed some cool/dusty purple shoes to round out my wardrobe. Sadly, they turned out to not be quite as awesome as other Fluevogs I've purchased; the sole feels thin and the heel feels rather fragile, and I can't wear them for hours on end the way I can with most of my other 'vogs--after only a few hours, my feet get as sore as they do with non-'vogs. However, the fit over the foot is just right, and they are absolutely gorgeous to look at--I love pairing them with 1930s-40s style outfits, which they're perfect with. I don't regret the purchase, but because they're not as comfortable as I was expecting, I'm going to pass on any other Bellevues styles, despite how adorable they are.

1920s

Rebecca - Los Angeles

:-D

The best heels I've ever owned! I liked them so much that I got a second pair! One black and one lavender. The lavender one I couldn't wear for the whole day, but I can with the 3rd wear. However, even the 1st wear, I was able to wear them for almost the whole day.
Not only they look fabulous, but they are SO comfortable. I have people asking me where I got them or what brand it is. One of them was a person who's into the 1920s.
I'm into the whole retro look, and these look so much like these 1920s shoes I've seen before (minus the extra details). I also hate many shoes made these days with the low cut vamp and tacky looking, so that's why I choose Fluevogs!
If I have money, I'll get more of these, and I hope they won't stop making these! :->

Holy Cannoli!

Megan - Portland, ME

These shoes are amazing!
I just got these in blue and green and they look wonderful! They are a bit narrow for my wide feet, but after stretching them a bit They fit perfectly. I can't wait to wear these at my wedding!

Dream shoes!

Sophie - Montreal

I am currently visiting the beautiful city of Vancouver, and I had to show my aunt that lives here what Fluevog was all about. She found the last pair of these babies in a size 7. Not only did I get a great discount, but I got them stretched right away for my thick feet to fit the toe box. They are so "me", it's like John asked me for my perfect pair of shoes. They are my 6th pair, and ended up being a gift. It's nice to have family that appreciate nice shoes, eh! ]:o)

Pearl Harts Saved My Feet

Virginia Ferrey - Nicaragua

Recently I coordinated a two-day conference. On the first day, I wore my Pearl Harts from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and, on the second day, from 5:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. In spite of the long hours and all the walking I had to do, at the end of the second day, I still felt like I was walking on clouds. Those shoes saved my feet!

Perfect wedding shoes

Jennifer - Winter Garden, FL

I had several Fluevogs in mind for my wedding shoes, mostly from the Bellevue family. I had been undecided until I went to the Seattle store yesterday.

While visiting family we made a road trip to Seattle and our first order of business was to visit the Fluevog store.

Once I saw them I knew the lilacs were perfect. I can't wait to walk down the aisle in my Pearls. The leather is so beautifully soft, and even my thin heel won't pop out of these thanks to the mary jane strap. Gorgeous, comfortable, fun and functional. I wanted a shoe I knew I would wear after the wedding, and these babies are the ticket. :-D

"Pink rose" is not what I expected

Melinda - Norfolk, VA

This is my 18th or 19th pair of 'vogs, but my first in the Bellevue family. I like the shoe, and I'm going to keep it, but the colors are not at all what I expected. From the photo and color name (pink rose), I expected this to be a PINK shoe with beige trim. Instead, it's a mauve-ish shoe with olive green trim. Pretty, and vintage-y, but not what I expected. Luckily, it still matches the dress I bought it for, as the dress has tan and green in it, too. Also, the heel is plastic, not leather, and is a slightly different color from the rest of the shoe (more lavender). I don't like that (it looks cheap, to me, instead of funky), but since these were on sale, I can live with it. Just not up to the same standard as my many Operettas.

Beware!

Meg - Winnipeg, Mb

These shoes are to die for, very sexy secretary, but they are narrow in the toe box and would not fit my standard-width feet X-) I was devastated to have to return them...

Love my new Pearl Harts!!

Tammy - Fredericton, NB

Bought the purple and cream online and absolutely love them! I am a size 8 1/2 and they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. I have gotten many compliments on them and am looking forward to my next pair of Fluevogs!!! Great new designs! :-D

Shoe Heaven

Cat - Vancouver

Oh, Holy Dinah do I love my new Pearl Hearts! They don't have the glorious width of my Malibrans, but despite a bit of pinching and rubbing the first day, they have softened up wonderfully. I bought an 8.5 to accommodate my wide foot (I have the Malibrans in an 8 and the Calamities in a 9, which is my usual size) and by day 3 they had relaxed to perfectly hug my tootsies. Just don't wear them to fly in - an airport security guard just asked me to take them off so she could admire them!

Lilacs...

Laurene - Idaho

...are what the purple shoes remind me of, and they are as soft and tender as Lilacs caressing my bare piggy toes!

Hanana San - Vancouver

Bought the olive and taupe variety today (after making the sweet sweet mistake of trying them on) and they are SO COMFORTABLE. I am not a heels kind of girl, but these are irresistible and they feel like flats. My feet are fairly narrow, and my usual size 9 fits like a dream. No pinching, no rubbing. What a fantastic pair of shoes. Thanks JF! <3

Love these shoes!

Brandee - New York City

I saw my friend wearing these shoes and I had to have them. We both agree: very cute and very comfortable. I love all my Fluevogs but these are really something else! :-) :-)

Rockin Rosie

Sherry Black - New York, NY

I have many Fluvogs and these are my favorite. My feet are wide with a high instep, but whatever - these shoes fit perfect. I feel so feminine in them and strut around the city like a princess. A young woman got on the elevator the other day and stopped, looked up at me and asked, "are those Fluevogs"? I so proudly said "yes"!

By the way, if anyone would like them a bit redder....just buy a Meltonian Creme at your nearest shoe repair shop. It's a small jar of creme in a vast array of colors. Just rub on with a cloth evenly all over the shoe. It won't affect the black, because it's darker. The creme also will give nurishment to the leather. I happen to love the rosie wine color because I have a million pairs of shoes and they are pleasantly different. ,->

Stylish but a little painful

Terri - Toronto, ON

I absolutely adore these shoes but I had to have them stretched... and even now I think I will have to take them back to the cobbler to re-do them, they are just not wide-enough for my feet. Having said that, though, they are amazing with tights and business skirts and as long as I don't have to walk far or be on my feet for too long, they are definitely stylin' to wear, especially for long days in the board room! :-o

Claudia

I have these in the wine & black. The leather is so so soft, almost satin-like in texture. The colour is definitely more pinkish than red as noted below, definitely wine and not red. The shoe fits a little more tightly than my minis or operettas, so I went with a 9.5. Lovely shoe!

First Pair!!

Anna - Calgary

I kept looking at them online for months and I finally bought them today. As soon as I put them on in the store they were perfect. It feels like I could wear them 24/7. They are so cute!

partygirl - New York/Vancouver

What can I say these were my first vogs. Love at first sight and fitting. A show stopper eveytime I wear them. Only down side?... they get more attention than I do.

Too pink

Amy T. - Twin Cities, MN

Like others who have reviewed the "red" Pearl Harts, I agree that they are far more pink than red. Wine as a color is technically correct, the the pictured pair is misleading. Not enough that I'd get another color, but enough to make my heart sink just a tad when I was lusting for red shoes. The shoes themselves are fantastic. Comfy and easy to balance on for someone a little uncoordinated like myself.

Vog Virgin

Emma - London, England

Bought my first Vogs in December in NYC. I have never, ever felt this way about shoes before. Having had an ankle injury, heels are normally a no-go for me but I Can Wear These. And not only can I wear them, but I can turn heads, distract angry commuters and basically cheer up London (England) on the rainiest day. Mr Fluevog, your shoes make me smile. Thank you.

In love with my Pearl Harts!

Naomi - Melbourne, Australia

I was soooo disappointed when I got home on Friday to find a "you missed a delivery" card in my letterbox. Thankfully, the local post office opens early for pick-ups, so I could go in this morning, collect my gorgeous olive shoes, and wear them to work. I was hooked on the Malibrans, but now I'm addicted to these - and they come in so many colours! Not much work being done today, since people keep stopping me to admire my shoes.

Narrow-footed femme fatale finds fit

Rosie - Bronx, NY

Not that I'm actually a femme fatale (more like an a grown-up tomboy) but these shoes make me feel like one. Having narrow feet, I have a hard time finding cute shoes that actually fit. For this reason, I never really got comfortable with heels. That said, I accompanied a friend to the fluevog location downtown anyway, not expecting to buy anything, but ended up putting these babies on layaway and taking them home a month later. The people working there were so helpful in recommending styles that work for narrow feet, and when I tried these on, I felt like they had been made for me. The adjustable strap is flexible and these shoes are so much more comfortable than any shoe this hot has a right to be. The red actually looks more like a dark rose-pink in real life. They work great with jeans as well as pencil skirts, cigarette pants, and dresses. I teach teenage girls, and when I wear these to work, (I can actually teach in these!) everyone from freshman to faculty remarks on them. I wholeheartedly recommend them, and want them in every color. They are my favorite shoes. :-D

Very pretty shoes

Mary - gatineau QC

I bought these in black online (pair 3) and they are beautiful, stylish and go with everything--casual and dressy. So I wore them to a conference in Vancouver. Through long, long days & walking back and forth to my hotel... my feet were a little perturbed, not being used to heels in high doses (see ref to long long days above).
Fortunately the conference was downtown and right around the corner from the Granville store, so I bought some Operetta's (Guilia) in wine and they were like BUTTER! (pair 4).

sharon - decatur, Ga

My sixth pair of 'Vogs. Love, love, all I have. I wore these to my 35th high school reunion, yes, old women love vogs, poorly constructed heels destroyed my feet. I bought these as soon as I tried them on. I love to dance, but most of my Fluevogs have stickey soles, honey, believe me, this is a pair of dancing shoes. I danced for four hours, swing, disco, whatever that 70's stuff was we used to do and still enjoy. Now, I have this pair in black base with a cream-ivory trim, I bought them at a little shop in my city of Decatur Ga. Envy me, they are not online. ]:o)

Editrix - Burbank, CA

I saw these online and instantly coveted the red version, but when I went to the store, they proved to be more pinkish than I would ever wear. So I bought the black instead, and they are fabulous. Comfy right out of the box... no breaking in! Years ago I seemed to take a size 7 in 'Vogs and now I seem to be a 6.5. I have wide feet and there is no toe cramping with these. They are awesome with patterned stockings. If only there was a tall boot version! xo

Head Over Heels In Love

Mandy - Pittsburgh, PA

Pearl Hart in Olive & Taupe - my first Fluevogs and I am completely in LOVE! Fell in love with them online, and managed to beg, borrow and steal 30 minutes from a whirlwind New England trip this weekend to drive into Boston and see them in person. Needless to say, I left the store with them! Size 6 fits perfectly, but I do have to say may be a little on the narrow side for most (I normally look for more narrow shoes.) Many thanks to Ali at the Boston store, she was amazing! Planning to wear these out and about, work, play dress up, and MY WEDDING!

beautiful shoes

penny - CT

I went to the boston store, and tried these on. I loved how they look on my feet and how they feel. It's very comfortable and the design is different but not weird. It is classy yet unique. The sales people in the boston store were very friendly and helpful, I ended up buying them even though it is way too much to spend on shoes for me. It's hard to resist them. The quality and design is top rate and they just look so cute and beautiful. The wine color in in real life is more pink than the one on the website, in case someone is wondering. The green is about the same as the website. Size run a bit big. I usually wear 8.5, but the 8 fits fine. It seems not all Fluevog shoes have the same fitting. Some I needed 8.5, some are 8, and even tried one where 7.5 fits great. Good thing i am somewhat close to Boston to take advantage of trying them on. Love them! I wish I have more money to get the wine color too. The store didn't have my size, which saved me some more $$, haha... ,-)

Experiencing a slight Fluevog addiction.

ROSEMARY - VANCOUVER

I purchased my first pair of fluevogs this past March, a pair of black Malibrans. Since then I have purchased 3 more pairs. Not bad for 6 months. I Love my blue Arabicas. I call them my sexy, sexy shoes. Doubling up on the adjectives when they are this gorgeous and unbelievably comfortable. I don't know how he does it. But keep creating and I'll keep buying.

Debbie - Victoria

Took the Clipper to Seattle. First stop?? Fluevog. I had to meet these little darlings in person. They felt so good that I needed a cigarette after trying them on! They fit, they are adored by all, and with all of the sidewalk grates in Seattle, they proved to be little troopers with their wide heel base. Already saving up for my third pair of FS. I love you John!!! You treatme like a princess.... ]:o)

Sharon - Ccardston,Ab.Canada

Thanks Rayna at Gastown store. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new Fluevogs.The first time I wore them I received lots of compliments on them.I love the way the fit they are so comfortable(no breaking in my feet). They feel like a dream to wear and are true to size. I feel absolutely fabulous in them and they are drop dead gorgeous.These are the first pair of Fluevogs that I have owned and they won't be the last. I feel an addiction coming on (is there a Fluevog anonymous?) ,->

Adorable and functional

Heather - Victoria, BC Canada

I'm a photographer, and needed shoes that both looked great and can work for long hours when I'm shooting big weddings. Everyone said, "get Fluevogs!". I originally had my eyes on Lily Darlings, but upon visiting a store and trying them on I found my heels were too narrow for any of the strapless styles. :( Fortunately the staff were very helpful and helped me find something else that would work. These were even better, and I just LOVE them! They are so comfortable, stylish, adorable and just perfect.

Nancy Nivling - Monterey CA

Lovely, lovely shoes, and they fit my feet like a dream. Can't wait for the perfect occasion to show them off!

Perfect Green shoe!

Rebecca - Winnipeg, MB

I have these in the Green and they are the perfect shoe for every occasion! Lots of compliments for these babies! They fit true to size. :-)
